<p>So basically, my question is, does the fact that your school has grade inflation, or is not very competitive hurt you at all in college admissions at the most competitive colleges? At first, I didn't think it mattered that much, but after going to some college information sessions, and looking at posts in the AP forum, I guess it does matter? Like there are posts that say that if your AP scores are a lot lower than what your grades would predict, that means your school has grade inflation (which I agree with), but that this might hurt in college admissions? I guess this doesn't really affect me that much, since my AP scores aren't bad, but my school doesn't send that many people to top colleges. But then, I don't really have any choice in which high school I go to, unless I move to another district, which is impossible with the housing market, or go to a private school, which my family can't afford.</p>
<p>It is the job of regional admission officers to know the high schools in their regions. If your high school is known for passing out grades of A with liberality, a high grade point average from your high school is less impressive than a lower grade point average from a tougher high school.</p>
